UNITED STATES ALEXANDER T. GARDEN, AUGUSTA, KANSAS.

OIL BURNER.

Application filed January 15, 1923.

To all 107mm it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALEXANDER T. GAR- DEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Augusta, in the county of Butler and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Oil Burner, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to burners for vaporizing and burning hydro-carbons in which the oil is ZLtOHllZGCl and driven into a combustion chamber by a jet of steam.

The object of the invention is to provide a burner of this character so constructed as to be used in connection with the oil regu lator shown and described in patent application Number 496,711 iiled August 29, 1921 and allowed November 29, 1922, whereby the oil and steam are regulated before reaching the burner and pass unobstructed therethrough, the burner being in no sense a regulator, and is valveless.

Another object is to provide a burner of this character in which the oil gravitates to the burner and is not injected by any means.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

The accompanying drawing represents a longitudinal section of aburner constructed in accordance with this invention.

The burner constituting this invention is designed especially for use with the oil regulator above referred to and comprises a casting 1 having a bore extending longitudinally therethrough and internally threaded at its outer end as shown at 2 for connection with a steam pipe. The threaded portion of this bore merges at its inner end into a reduced extension 3 terminating at the front of the casting in a discharge nozzle 4.

This casting 1 is threaded into a T-shaped shell 5, the stem 6 of which is internally threaded for connection with an oil supply pipe and constitutes the oil inlet of the burner.

Serial No. 612,738.

The oil entering through this inlet 7 gravitates to the interior of the shell which is provided with an oil excess chamber 8 surrounding the nozzle 4:.

The combined steam and oil discharge 9 leads from the casting 5 in alinement with the nozzle 4 andat right angles to the oil inlet 7 and is externally threaded as shown at 10 for the engagement of the cap to be used when cleaning out the oil line.

As shown, the casting 1 has a hexagonal outer face 11 for the application of a wrenc when assembling the parts.

This burner which as above set forth is primarily intended for use in connection with the oil regulator above referred to, has steam admitted thereto through the inlet 2 and the oil through the inlet 7, the steam passing out through the nozzle 4; operating to suclrwith it oil from the pocket 8 which is vaporized and sprayed through the discharge 9 into the combustion chamber (not shown).

From the above description it will be obvious that this burner is constructed of two parts only, which are united by a threaded connection shown at 12.

Briefly considered, the device forming the subject matter of this application comprises a T-shaped shell 5 including a stem 6 and oppositely disposed arms 9 and 19, the arm 19 having a conical bore 12 and the arm 9 having a cylindrical bore 9 there being a chamber 8 in the shell 5 and connecting the bores 12 and 9, the chamber tapering from its intermediate portion to its ends, the shell having a passage 20 communicating with the stem 6 and with the chamber 8 and of the same diameter as the length of the chamber, the conical nozzle 4: being mounted in the tapered bore 12 and extending through the chamber 8 to the place 21 of juncture between the chamber and the cylindrical bore 9*.

I claim A device of the class described comprising 7 a T-shaped shell including a stem and 0ppo sitely disposed arms, one arm having a conical bore and the other arm having a cylindrical bore, there being a chamber in the shell and connecting the bores, the chamber tapering from its intermediate portion to its ends, the shell having a passage communicating with the stem and with the chamber and of as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signer the same diameter as the length of the chzunture in the presence of two Witnesses. her, and a conical nozzle mounted in the 1 i T tapered bore and extended through the cham- ALEXANDER GARDEN 5 her to the place of juncture between the Vitnesses;

chamber and the cylindrical bore. V JENNIE C. VANDEVENTER,

In testimony that I claim the foregoing MARY GARDEN,
